A wild imagination, idealist heart, and strong intellect make the Perfectionist a popular and engaging person. However, your sensitivity and self-scrutiny can work against you, and your commitment to perfection can give you unrealistic expectations.
Your friends don’t understand why you aren’t more relaxed. You are energetic, bright, and popular, and you seem constantly to be achieving at something. You are clever and imaginative, with enormously high standards, but this doesn’t stop you being open, approachable, and friendly.
You are ambitious, with big dreams and the resourcefulness to make those dreams a reality—but this means that if you fail to meet your own expectations, you can become discouraged. Your friends accuse of being a workaholic, and it’s true that you are prone to take on too much.
Your schedule is always jam-packed, so even though you are absolutely up for an adventure, it has to find space in your calendar alongside social engagements, extra-curricular commitments, and a demanding job.
Grabbing life by the horns creates its own problems: you worry sometimes whether you really have time do you have to read all those books, to visit all those countries, or to master all those complex karate moves.
